Start at home.....God is still God!

 Jesus sent these twelve out with the following orders. “Do not go among the Gentiles,” he said. “Do not enter any town of the Samaritans.  Instead, go to the people of Israel. They are like sheep that have become lost.  As you go, preach this message, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Heal those who are sick. Bring those who are dead back to life. Make those who have skin diseases ‘clean’ again. Drive out demons. You have received freely, so give freely. “Do not get any gold, silver or copper to take with you in your belts. Do not take a bag for the journey. Do not take extra clothes or sandals or walking sticks. A worker should be given what he needs.  When you enter a town or village, look for someone who is willing to welcome you. Stay at their house until you leave.  As you enter the home, greet those who live there.  If that home welcomes you, give it your blessing of peace. If it does not, don’t bless it.  Some people may not welcome you or listen to your words. If they don’t, leave that home or town, and shake the dust off your feet.  What I’m about to tell you is true. On judgment day it will be easier for Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.“I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as wise as snakes and as harmless as doves.(Matthew 10:5-16)

Jesus sent the twelve out among the Jews . . . His people. He gave specific instruction not to go among the Gentiles or Samaritans, but the people of Israel!

In these challenging times of sickness, unrest and real fracture and divisions . . . yes, among believers, I believe it is time to start at home! Forget about the unsaved, the unsure or the unknowing for a moment: What about our family members and church members who seemed to have lost it?

I don't know how many times I have seen or heard words and reactions on social media from believers which totally contradict a biblical worldview! Have we been so duped by the enemy to support any and every social cause, political agenda, or policy that comes along, simply because it sounds good on the surface? What has happened to sound scriptural teaching and commitment to His Word? 

It s ok if you don't agree, but His Word is Truth! By the way, God does not change for politics, social media, culture or for our feelings!  He is still God!
